Welcome back to Answers of the Day — our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!

Now, judging paint is very subjective. There are people who hate lowriders and ‘70s custom van paint jobs. Obviously, those cars are amazing and their haters have no taste. There are those among you who despise all silly donk paint jobs and declare them a travesty, while we kind of like them.

We're also sure that the people who made the ten custom paint jobs featured on this list love their cars. Look at Uli Anliker above, with his Red Gold SLR. Look at how happy he is! Gaze into his eyes and you see the horror that he actually likes how his custom Mercedes-McLaren SLR looks. Let that soak in for a second.

When we saw the Red Gold SLR this morning, we had no idea its creator would become our new hero. He …

Still, we think it's a travesty, as are all the cars on this list. If you think we've forgotten a particularly terrible car that you've seen, post a picture of it in Kinja below. Except no lowriders or custom vans. Those things rule.

9.) East Bloc Primate Aztek

We're not sure exactly what corner of the former Soviet world this Pontiac represents, but when we last saw it for sale in 2007 it was going for $18,500. The seller claimed to have put $35K into the car, what with its Lambo doors and chimpanzee details.

8.) Michael Jackson GT-R

Caught at the 2011 Nismo Festival in Japan, this GT-R has the creepiest celebrity memorial mural we've seen on a car, with the King of Pop staring straight back at the car behind. It's just disturbing.

7.) Spongebob Corvette

We won't lie, we love some donk paint jobs, especially their pun-on-wheels Kandy paint jobs about Skittles, M&Ms or whatever. There is a time and a place for half-serious donk paint, and it's on twenty-foot-long American sedans sitting in the sky on giant rims.

5.) Dragon Vette: Bronze Edition

The award for worst paint quality goes to this 2006 Corvette, which looks like it was done in nail polish. At least the painter could have taped off the headlights and the rest of the glass. I suppose if the inspiration to make your ‘Vette look like it got bronzed hits you, you don't delay.

2.) Pussy Jaguar

Now, we love a good pussy joke when it comes to Jaguars, but this one takes it all too literally. This was actually the third XKE ever imported to the US. It does not deserve this kind of mistreatment, which borders on animal cruelty.

1.) Dragon Vette: Original Flavor

Meet the worst custom Corvette in the world. It's the same car that had the copper pant job, just in an earlier and significantly more horrifying incarnation. We don't know what hand or eye could frame its fearful asymmetry, and we don't want to either.
